《The Three Kingdoms》Burn and Loot
Advertisement
Pei Yuan Shao on the side scratched his head and asked in a whisper, "Bo Qi, what is meant by a rogue bandit?"
Guan Hai gave a stifled grunt and replied, "Idiot, Bo Qi wants to take the group to live a good life of good wine, good meat and good women, then naturally the bandits are rich and sweaty bandits, this does not understand, pig."
Ma Yue listened to straight rolled his eyes, when the roving bandits are really helpless.
The failure of the Yellow Turban uprising has fully illustrated that even if you can pull up millions of teams, it is a rabble, as usual, is not the opponent of the East Han Dynasty elite Han army, hostage to the mass uprising of the poor is no way to live.
There are three advantages to being a roving bandit.
One is that the target is small, unlike the Yellow Turban uprising, which was so loud and powerful that it would not attract the attention of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the military pressure faced would be much smaller.
The second is fast flowing, the means of communication was extremely backward, local county soldiers were fighting on their own, and the training was lax, the armament was lax, the stragglers had a lot of strategic space for interpolation and detour.
Thirdly, they were well fed. As they were always roaming around, they could always find rich families for plundering, so feeding them was not a problem.
According to the above three advantages, Ma Yue is confident that he can survive this difficult time, as long as he survives five years, until the death of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo into the capital, followed by the eighteen vassals and to discuss Dong, then, it is the time to turn over the salted fish.
Of course, Ma Yue did not want to become a mountain bandit, when the mountain bandit can also survive the five years.
When the bandits, the wind and the dew, living in no fixed place, hard is needless to say, because always in the core of the official circle of influence, so at any time may be surrounded by the official army and the whole army destroyed.
When the mountain bandits, living in peace and happiness, free from the law, as long as you do not make too much noise, generally can live very well.
But the problem is, the end of the Han Dynasty, the world is suffering, if confined to a place when the king of the mountain, the surrounding wealthy families will always be a day of trouble, then how to do? To rob the poor people? Although the mountain bandits in this era often do this, but Ma Yue, after all, from the future world to cross over, can not pass this psychological barrier.
The thousands of years of Chinese history, the most bitter and kindest and most difficult is the poor people, they work at sunrise and sunset, all they want is just three meals, how can they bear to deprive this small request? In Ma Yue's opinion, this is simply the same as animals.

Of course, if the cottage was run as a small kingdom, it could be self-sufficient and not harm the people around it, but then the men trained would still be just a group of farmers. What Ma Yue needed was not a group of farmers, but a group of bloodthirsty wolves that bellowed.
Only a group of bloodthirsty wolves can help Ma Yue become a warlord in the coming chaotic world. If there is only a group of farmers under him, then Ma Yue can only end up becoming the ghost of someone else's sword, with one of his heads to witness the rise of other chaotic lords.
Just like the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan chose to be a mountain bandit, and he did not impress the poor, so he could only operate the mountain fortress as a small kingdom, and as a result, he could only put himself under Cao Cao's banner and become a stepping stone for others. Zhang Yan could put himself under Cao Cao's command, but he, Ma Yue, could not. With his personality, if he really put himself under Cao Cao's command, he would one day be killed by Cao Ah Huo, who was suspicious by nature.
Therefore, Ma Yue must be the boss, to be the boss, you must have a pack of bloodthirsty wolves.
If you want to have a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, you need to keep feeding them with fresh flesh and blood.
What is blood and flesh? It is the rich families of this era, that is, the people's money they have gathered through proper or improper means! Ma Yue must take this group of wolf cubs all over the world to roam around in order to constantly find fresh prey. After a long period of savage hunting training, one day, these pure and simple farmers will eventually turn into hideous and vicious wolves.
This ...... is the only reason to be a roving bandit!
Under the dark night sky, Ma Yue sternly shouted: "What Laozi just said, have you remembered?"
"Remember!"
"Very well!" Ma Yue waved his arm forward and shouted, "Take the front manor, drink in big bowls and eat meat in big pieces!"
"Ow~~"
The stragglers howled and followed behind Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao to lunge towards the manor in front of them.
......
In Wancheng, Zhu Jun's army had already left, and the urn city with its mountains of corpses and rivers of blood had also been cleared away.
Qin Jie was pacing back and forth, full of anxiety, while Huang Zhong, Zou Jing, Wei He and Cai Mao stood to the side, silently facing each other.
A moment later, footsteps sounded, and the 17-year-old Wen Hui entered with his head held high.
Qin Jie eagerly greeted him and asked, "Is there any news about the bandits?"
Wen Ren wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head, "The fast horses have searched all over the 50-mile radius of Laohegou, but there is no sign of the bandits!"

Qin Jie lost his voice and said, "Nothing for 50 miles! This group of yellow turban remaining villains did not fly away with wings?"
Zou Jing thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, should we inform the surrounding counties to strengthen the vigilance and communicate with each other, so that if there is any news of the bandits, we can immediately send our troops to pursue them."
Qin Jie said with a long sigh, "This is what we have to do now."
Huang Zhong, who had a bandage on his shoulder, said, "This Ma Yue is amazing. The Yellow Turban bandits, who were originally unbeatable, have become an unpredictable army in his hands!"
Cai Mao did not think: "Han Sheng brother is a little exaggerated, but more than a thousand bandits, only a few hundred Jiangxia soldiers can be broken, what fear?"
Huang Zhong said: "That is because you have not yet experienced his power!"
Cai Mao sneered back and said, "I think you are afraid of him!"
"You!"
"You what you, did I say wrong? A defeated general, how dare you speak of courage!"
"Cai Mao, I am sworn to be at odds with you, do you dare to fight me alone?"
"Why not!"
Qin Jie angrily slapped the case and said angrily, "That's enough! Now that the remaining Yellow Turbans have not been exterminated and the country has not yet finished, it is the right time to work together and advance together, so why are you quarreling with each other?"
Huang Zhong and Cai Mao resentfully retreated.
......
The eight hundred bandits captured the vast manor without much effort, and the whole manor has now become a temporary barracks for the eight hundred bandits.
The manor is now a temporary barracks for the eight hundred bandits. A cauldron has been set up in the courtyard, and a fat pig has been washed and dehaired and is being boiled in the cauldron, with a strong fragrance of meat wafting out and filling the whole manor.
In the corner, three small leaders around a campfire for warmth, drinking rice wine found in the kiln, and three fat chickens on the fire in the roast, the fat chicken has been roasted to a golden body, the aroma is overflowing, a small leader tore off a chicken leg to the mouth and took a bite, only to feel the mouth full of crispy aroma, immediately even the cross flesh on the face are blooming smile.
From time to time, the sound of chickens and dogs jumping in the backyard, the food is not available to the bandits in a group of three, five a cluster, is intensely chasing chickens and dogs, busy and happy.
The already fed and watered stragglers fell asleep by the fire, draped with a woman's garment of flowers and greenery snatched from nowhere, smelling fragrant, can not throw, the future married to a daughter-in-law can give her wear, one or small peasant consciousness is very strong which.
In the confusion, the thieving butler was brought before Ma Yue.
Ma Yue's icy glare over, the housekeeper was frightened a trembling, fell to his knees and begged: "Grandpa spare my life, spare my life, I have a bedridden mother of 80 years old, and a child of less than three years old, I really can not die ah."
Ma Yue Zheng pulled out the dagger, the housekeeper ah a scream of misery limp to the ground, the room immediately filled with a smell of urine, this guy was scared incontinence.
"Wow!"
A scoop of cold water was poured on the butler's face, waking him up with a chill.
"Say, where is this place?"
Ma Yue put the dagger than on the side of the butler's neck, and his eyes showed a vicious wolf-like look.
"This ...... place is Fuyang ...... Fuyang County, Zhang ...... Zhang Zhuang."
"Fuyang County? How far is this place from the county seat?"
"No ...... less than fifty miles."
"How many official troops are stationed in the county?"
"A small ...... small one doesn't ...... know."
"Well?"
"Ah, not ...... about five ...... five hundred people."
Ma Yue pondered for a moment, his eyes abruptly swept a trace of cunning color, put away the dagger and ordered the two stragglers around him, "Tie this guy carefully, tomorrow at dawn to skin the pot, just enough for the brothers to have a full meal."
"Yes, chief."
The two bandits agreed in a stern voice and brought ropes to tie up the housekeeper, who had already been scared out of his wits.
Ma Yue just out of the room, met with Guan Hai full of lustful smiles from another compartment out, it is the time of the spring chill, but this guy is naked, the lower body is only clothed with a loose satin pants, half hidden half open in the compartment, a suppressed moaning sounds.
Ma Yue frowned, had the intention to reprimand a few sentences but finally held back.
In order to survive, Ma Yue can indulge his men to burn and kill, but will never allow them to rape women, this has nothing to do with bullshit benevolence and morality, but for the sake of the army's combat effectiveness. A soldier who is always raping women and only knows how to put his energy into women is definitely not strong enough to fight.
Only do not let these reckless men touch women, so that their young energy nowhere to vent, suffocating them, and then put them on the battlefield, let them go to the battlefield to vent, so that the soldiers, combat power will be strong, only to become the enemy's lingering nightmare.
This is not made up, there is such an unparalleled great army in later times, is by this method of governance to win the honor of the strongest land army.

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

Gray's Crucible
“The value you have brought to trade is immense, more than a thousand fold what any other traveler to Crucible has ever produced. More than even I produced during my journey.” The old man paused for a moment here, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a few seconds he begins again with weariness creeping into his voice. “As the Messenger of Crucible I have received the value of your life. You shall be awarded a body with potential equaling the value you have brought to this place in accordance with the laws of the higher realms. Now you shall depart for Crucible, but first; I, Jaze, will give you some advice.” The old man, Jaze, he had named himself paused a time. Time enough that Gray began to wonder if he was still present, when he suddenly continued in a low and serious tone, “You will undoubtedly have great potential Gray of Earth, but it is still only potential. What could be is not necessarily what will be. If you step foolishly in my world, if you can not live up to the potential you have bartered for, Crucible will crush you mercilessly and tear away your very soul.” A thought, cheerful and light was heard from Gray before his presence was sent rocketing away like a shooting star. “I’m looking forward to it.”
